"Speared" is track six on the Hungry Lights studio album "Three Gods & Me." Remember that this is a summary, not the entire story! It is like 10% of what is actually going on—just the skeleton. It is a rough translation of what is literally going on in the lyrics. There is also a figurative story that is taking place at the same time which goes much deeper and does not involve the fictional character Prill, but that is up to you to find :) It is much easier to discover the hidden meaning when you grasp a decent understanding of the literal meaning first. These are your puzzle pieces, and I highly suggest you study them before pursuing the next albums in the sequence, otherwise emotion and information will be lost, therefore connections will be missed!

Right off the bat, let us talk about the spear. The spear, as Justin made publicly clear, is representative of Prill's passive nature. Up until this point, Prill has let the world walk all over him. While he has had moments of fight and moments of victory, he is always shut down at the end of the day, and he just sort of takes it... which is why he ended up in this situation to begin with.

As the song begins, we can see that Prill's attitude has drastically changed compared to the first four songs of the album, and this continues throughout the verses and choruses. He has dropped the whole, "poor me" image, and he is back at bullheadedly attempting to move forward, which he swiftly realizes he cannot do as long as he is "speared." As long as that metaphorical spear is there, Prill cannot find a reason to truly push onward. He cannot find a reason to be. Moving through the verses and choruses, the rest of the song is basically just him being delusional as always and crying out to be heard and seen. He is externally searching for self worth as he gets ready to fight The Second God.
